Fast Files
Fast Files is a project consisting of two bash scripts,
ff
andffv
, that combine the functionality ofmkdir
andtouch
, enabling you to create directory structures and files in a single command. Theffv
script additionally prints the created objects in a tree-like structure usingeza
,lsd
orls
.
Scripts
ff
: creates the specified files and directories without printing any output.ffv
: performs the same operations asff
but also lists the created objects.
✨ Features
- Create single or multiple files and directories in one command.
- Automatically create parent directories as needed.
- Supports brace expansion for creating complex directory and file structures in one go.
- Optionally lists the created objects with enhanced listing tools (
eza
orlsd
) if available, or fallback tols
(ffv
only).
